What All Is Involved In Converting Awd To Fwd

[john]

As the description says. I have never done it before but my car needs extensive tuning. Can someone describe it in steps foir me? I know you have to drop the xfercase but that is it. I assume you yank out the driveshaft but do you leave the rear axels in? I have no idea. Someone please explain it to me.

You need to swap in a welded viscous coupling or have a welded center diff already. Then you can pull the xfer case on the dyno and let the driveshaft hang, or removing the xfer case and driveshaft at home. Shane the dyno whore will love you for performing the latter.

i think i heard tom talin about an all wheel drive Dyno on university, I dont remember for sure but yeah, check that out. Unless you just want to convert to fwd .

there is an awd dyno, but sometimes you are better off going to a place that is known for good tuning

[glempo]

ah, i see :)

tunint wise you are better off going with a known place.. and hence why most local guys go to Elite...

On top of all that, the "shop with the AWD dyno" just blew up an STi engine. My friend from work was there when BAM, metal on metal. Also, the STi belonged to Gaborik from the MN Wild.

Bottom Line: Take it to Elite.

you know, its a risk you take, i know my engine will eventualy blow... and for my luck it will be when i'm tuning it, thats why i'd like to have someone with a cam there to record the bitch blow up!!! that way i have some good memories before i tow it home and turn it into a 1year project...

Ok, now that we've established where to go....lol

Can someone actually answer his question about how you convert it to FWD so he can dyno it????
